NFL Best Bets: Raiders vs. Giants Best Prop Bets for Week 17

Published:

By: Hunter Skoczylas

The Raiders will play host to the Giants at Allegiant Stadium in Week 17 on Sunday afternoon. On DraftKings Sportsbook, the Moneyline is an even split at -110 odds, with the game’s total set at O/U 41.5 points. It is worth noting that both of these teams will be trying to lose on Sunday, as the outcome determines which team holds possession of the first overall pick in the upcoming draft in April.

Below, I’ll go over my favorite player prop bets for Sunday’s NFL Week 17 matchup between the Raiders and Giants.


Raiders vs. Giants Best Prop Bets

Ashton Jeanty Over 72.5 Rushing Yards (-110)

The 2025 sixth overall pick may have officially arrived after tearing up one of the NFL’s best defenses in the Texans. Jeanty draws an elite matchup against the Giants, who rank dead last in rushing EPA and yards per carry allowed. While Jeanty has only cleared this line in three games this season, the first two came at Allegiant Stadium, and I’m expecting him to build off of his strong Week 16 performance. The Raiders placed Brock Bowers on Injured Reserve, ending his season, which makes me think that they could lean even more on Jeanty in this one. Geno Smith may struggle against New York’s elite pass-rushing unit, too, and Las Vegas can limit that by pounding the rock.

Jaxson Dart Over 186.5 Passing Yards (-110)

Dart finished with just 33 passing yards in Week 16, and I’d be willing to bet that he turns things around in Week 17 against a Raiders’ secondary that ranks 26th in dropback EPA. Before his poor performance last week, Dart had cleared this yardage mark in 7-of-9 games. While Las Vegas has allowed a ton of rushing touchdowns, its run defense still ranks 11th in rushing EPA and may present some issues for the Giants’ running backs, which could lead to more opportunities for Dart to throw the ball downfield. The Raiders’ defense has allowed the eighth-most receptions, eighth-most receiving touchdowns and 10th-most receiving yards to opposing wideouts this season, which should make the day easy on Dart to find success through the air.
